Thank you for purchasing the Edelbrock Supercharger for the Chevy Camaro HFV6. This Edelbrock Supercharger System
utilizes Eaton’s R1740 TVS Supercharger rotors housed inside a redesigned supercharger manifold. The manifold is
Edelbrock’s most advanced supercharger design to date and fits under the factory hood with no modifications. The
supercharger retains a “blow-down” orientation which expels air downward through the intercooler core. Air pressure
then builds in the plenum before being forced down through the intercooler resulting in incredibly low IATs to support
more power.
The supercharger is 50-State emissions legal (pending), and includes a 3-year 36,000 mile warranty when applicable
Installation time: Approximately 8 hours.

Installation Instructions
Page 4
Due to the complexity of the Edelbrock Supercharging system, it is recommended that this system only be installed
by a qualified professional with access to a service lift, pneumatic tools, and a strong familiarity with automotive
service procedures. To qualify for the drivetrain warranty, it is necessary to have this system installed by a
Certified ASE Technician at a licensed business, GM Dealership, or an Authorized Edelbrock Installer. Failure to
do so will void and/or disqualify any and all optional supplemental warranties offered with this system. Please
contact the Edelbrock Technical Support department if you have any questions regarding this system and/or how
your installer of choice will affect any warranty coverage for which your vehicle may qualify.
Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer. Improper installation will void all
manufacture’s standard warranties and may result in poor performance and engine or vehicle damage.
Inspect all components for damage that may have occurred in transit before beginning installation. If
any parts are missing or damaged, contact Edelbrock Technical Support, not your parts distributor.
Any equipment that directly modifies the fuel mixture or ignition timing of the engine can cause severe engine
damage if used in conjunction with the Edelbrock Supercharger System. This includes, but is not limited to:
OBDII programmers, MAF sensors, adapters and any other device that modifies signals to and/or from the ECU.
Aftermarket bolt-on equipment such as underdrive pulleys or air intake kits will also conflict with the operation of
the supercharger and must be removed prior to installation. Use of any of these products with the Supercharger
could result in severe engine damage.
Any previously installed aftermarket tuning equipment must be removed and the vehicle returned to an
as-stock condition before installing the supercharger.
Before beginning the installation, use the enclosed checklist to verify that all
components are present in the box. Then inspect each component for damage
that may have occurred in transit. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact
Edelbrock Technical Support (800-416-8628), not your parts distributor.
WARNING: Installation of this supercharger will result in a significant change to the
performance characteristics of your vehicle. It is highly recommended that you take some
time to familiarize yourself with the added power and how it’s delivered. This must be done
in a controlled environment. Take extra care on wet and slippery roads as the rear tires will
be more likely to lose traction with the added power. It is never recommended to turn off
your vehicles traction control system.
